ABC Cancels ROSEANNE

“Roseanne’s Twitter statement is abhorrent, repugnant and inconsistent with our values, and we have decided to cancel her show,” Channing Dungey, president, ABC Entertainment said in a statement.

The move comes after series star/executive producer Roseanne Barr was widely criticized for her racist tweets toward a former Obama aide. (Writer Wanda Sykes also quit the series following Barr’s tweets.)
